Makes such a difference too when it complements (or better still grows with) the house.
There are plants that may obscure your view but encourage you to stand around, like jasmine plants you can smell from metres away. As @ekzyis would say, private but not secure.
Funnily enough plantingprivacy.com has a nice ring to it and is a cheap domain, someone snapped up plantprivacy in 2021.

haha, indeed :)
I think I read somewhere that good concealment is preferred over good cover but not sure. Couldn't find the source. Maybe someone with more military experience can chime in? šŸ‘€
I found this nice chart here though:

good concealment is preferred over good cover
maybe that's why
  • the real rich never wear fancy brands?
  • the real good restaurant often hidden on street corners?
  • the good men is not in social media posting selfies?
  • the real travelers don't post their travel photos?

I mean to me, it sounds quite obvious. If given the choice between not being a target at all and being a well-defended target, I would pick 'not a target at all' every time.
It's not that easy though. I guess there is a sweet spot of concealment and cover. Having no cover at all is probably pretty stressful; negating the effects of your concealment.

I also think this is related to which groups you target. So it's not only about making yourself not a target but also what is your target. Some things act as filters :)
